$

30

This is a very rare pressing of the iconic Steely Dan LP, Katy Lied issued by MFSL in 1978, the seventh LP issued by them This LP was pressed in Japan by Victor Musical Industries (JVC) on virgin vinyl with light passing through the playing surface. Clean copies of this rare pressing are becoming increasingly difficult to find and have a book value of $100/

As to grading, I grade very conservatively. For records that are a notch below near mint, rather than VG ++, I prefer to use grade of Excellent. I do not use VG++ grade in addition to Excellent grade as is done by some.

The LP visually is in excellent condition with no visible marks. The LP was play tested using headphones and grades at about very good plus. It plays very quietly with the minor exception few a very light ticks heard during Everyone's Gone To The Movies, the first cut on Side Two 2. Other than that the LP plays very nice and quietly. Please note that LP was cleaned before testing which was done few weeks before listing and done by hand and not machine. It should be cleaned again before listening. The cover is in very good plus condition. The seams and spine are strong with only slight rub/spot wear evident., with no splits and the product information still readable on the spine. All four corners are very slightly crimped. The front and back of cover are very clean with vibrant color although with some ring and other wear such as few creases evident.  

The LP is being sold without reserve and payment is expected within 3 days of auction close. Return of the LP will only be accepted if the same LP sold and shipped is returned.

Save me as a seller as I have  a collection of over 6000 rock, soul blues and Jazz LPs, many of which are very rare and most of which are very clean, including sealed copies and open and very clean MFSL and other audiophile pressings (Nautilus Superdisc, Direct Disk, Quiex, Columbia Mastersound, and Japanese pressings including number of originals), as well as promos. 

Please keep in mind that I am an newly retired long time record collector and not a store or dealer that is looking to dispose of most of my collection. I am honest and endeavor to do the best I can in this process and try to be considerate of others and expect the same.  Buyers that behave in an unreasonable or less than ethical manner will be reported and blocked from participation in future auctions.
